Whether you’re drawn to simplicity or bold statement dressing, today’s abayas offer far more than classic black. This season, think polka dots, contrast stripes, rich chocolate tones and contemporary tailoring. Here, we’ve rounded up the standout pieces worth investing in, alongside the accessories we’d pair them with.

The Polka-Dot Abaya

Polka dots are quietly making a comeback, and nowhere do they feel fresher than on fluid abaya silhouettes. A monochrome spotted design feels playful without losing sophistication.

The Leopard Print Abaya

Animal print returns every season, but this year’s take feels softer and more luxurious. A flowing leopard-print abaya becomes the statement, so everything else should stay understated.

Style it with:

The Pinstripe Abaya

Tailoring-inspired stripes instantly make an abaya feel contemporary. Think oversized proportions with clean lines.

Style it with:

The Chocolate Brown Abaya

Style it with:

The Butter Yellow Abaya

Style it with:

The Sheer Tulle Abaya

Sheer layers continue to dominate both ready-to-wear and modest fashion, and Mauzan’s tulle abaya is proof that transparency can feel elegant rather than overt. It’s the kind of piece that transitions seamlessly from an intimate dinner to an evening event.

Style it with:

The Playful Tassel Abaya

A94-RTW | Tassels Boutique | Dhs: 1,360.00

Tassel Boutique’s black abaya reimagines a timeless silhouette with delicate heart-shaped tassel embellishments, adding movement and a playful touch without overpowering the look.
